Sciatica Relief in Coral Gables
That sharp, shooting pain down your leg can stop you in your tracks. Whether you’re trying to finish your workday, enjoy a weekend bike ride, or simply get through the night without waking up in discomfort, sciatica has a way of derailing the activities that matter most to you.
At Besson Chiropractic, Dr. Adrián Besson understands that sciatica affects nearly everyone at some point, especially those who spend long hours sitting at a desk or staying active through sports and exercise. The good news? With the right approach, you don’t have to live with that nagging nerve pain.
What’s Really Happening with Sciatica
Sciatica typically stems from pressure on the sciatic nerve in your low back, but the full picture can be more complex. While the nerve may be compressed at the spinal level, it can also become trapped between muscle groups along its path down your leg, making symptoms linger even after low back pressure decreases.
Dr. Besson takes a thorough view of sciatica, addressing both the spinal source and the muscular tension that keeps the nerve irritated. This well-rounded approach helps ensure that relief isn’t just temporary, but truly lasting.
How We Help You Find Relief
Care at Besson Chiropractic starts with a detailed assessment to pinpoint exactly where the nerve is being compressed. From there, Dr. Besson creates a personalized plan that may include spinal adjustments using Gonstead, Thompson, or full spine techniques to take pressure off the nerve at its source.
To target muscular trapping of the nerve, manual therapy is applied to the affected regions, helping release tension and allowing the nerve to move freely again. For many, spinal decompression is also recommended using customized angles and oscillating pressure settings designed to create space around the nerve and promote disc rehydration. This combination allows the sciatic nerve to communicate properly with your lower body muscles and get you back to the activities you enjoy.
Your Path Forward Starts Here
Once your body is ready, Dr. Besson will guide you through individualized exercises, stretches, and mobility work designed to support your recovery at home. These recommendations are based on your current needs, helping you maintain progress and prevent future flare-ups.
